Yeah I did also find it to be mostly accurate. However, seeing the sources I felt like I kind of have to check all the languages just in case it picked up information from a random "X ways to do Y" article that might not have been

They add the same Option+Space (on macOS) shortcut that ChatGPT has, but the app feels a bit like a quick build overall, as it's just a web container. Hopefully they'll add some nice features that wouldn't work in a browser s

What I really hope this helps solve is covering for the huge lag in knowledge cutoff. A recent example is where it went "oh you're using Go 1.23 which doesn't exist so that's clearly the problem in your Dockerfile, let m

I have the opposite experience with Chat and Compose. I use the latter much more. The "intelligence level" of the Chat is pretty poor and like the author says, starts with pointless code blocks, and you often end up with AI slop a

Ah gotcha, yeah I was always a bit confused about the whole thing but that makes sense. I've only used SWC directly as a WASM bundle to do in-browser realtime compilation and analysis of .tsx files, which works great, but that was pre-

It is easy to get JS build fatigue. But I love the fact that these competitors push the incumbents forward. SWC was one of the earlier Rust builders, which then became absorbed into Vercel and turned into Turbopack (is my understanding), an

Yeah I think CRDT or OT can work well for multiplayer rich text editing for example, but then I would scope the domain to just that in such a way that you still keep the bulk of your document "dumb", e.g. as JSON patches on a big

I'm completely into the idea that your data should be document-centric, this I've seen working at a very large scale (i.e. 100+ MB JSON blobs being updated at 60 FPS with a large team of people editing at the same time) with the s

JS numbers technically have 53 bits for integers (mantissa) but all binary operators turns it into a 32-bit signed integer. Maybe this is related somehow to the setTimeout limitation. JavaScript also has the >>> unsigned bit shift

I'm constantly impressed by the design of DOs. I think it's easy to have a knee-jerk reaction that something is wrong with doing it this way, but in reality I think this is exactly how a lot of real products are implicitly structu

Channels require a different goroutine to send values while also receiving them (which is how you’d have two loops communicating, essentially what you get from range funcs). There’s nothing stopping you from doing this but it does mean you

It’s fair in some cases, but indeed - not in others - e.g., code completion with LLMs is a time saver and worth paying for, compared to any other tech out there. At least this is how I see it, I know some people say it introduces mistakes b
